Just a quickie before I shoot off to bed. The rowing machine was out of stock unfortunately and I’m eager to get it in, so is A.. Hopefully it will be delivered somewhere this week. I’ve been working on my website and doing quite well if I might say so. There is a lot of progress although you won’t be able to see it straight away. It takes some time to sort out things, adjust things or design things and sometimes it’s not as easy as you think it is.
I ran into a problem today which left me thinking and I have not yet found a solution. It’s the navigation, I’ve put everything inside a movieclip which is running on the main time line but is now accessed through a script. So if you click the comb that I mentioned earlier the action will be triggered by a script. Which is all fine but I do need some mouseovers and in order to make those work on the main time line I will have to adjust the way I’ve designed it now. It basically means I need to think about a structure to work my way around the script to make the buttons work.
Hectic stuff but I will find a solution. Once that’s done things will be quick and neat and the only time consuming part will be my portfolio. There are many ways to show my stuff but I want it to be big enough most of all to be judged on a monitor by people who will have to have a good look at it. This is the toughest part since it is quite difficult to achieve the perfect result. I have had a look at different websites just to see how they solve this problem and so far I am not satisfied with the outcome.
I did find some cool scripts that make it all “Flashy” and interesting to look at but integrating this with the actual purpose of the portfolio is something that calls for attention. I will probably wait with this until most of the website has been done so I will have time to think about it while working on my other stuff… If I seem distracted or not replying to emails straight away you’ll know what is keeping me busy in my head. Tomorrow I will reply to a few first, that’s a promise!
For now; sweet dreams, I need to log off and listen to A.’s new song that he has composed on his computer [he needs a G5 like mine *grin*]… Talk soon!
